Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival.

The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women.

"[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health," it says.

The more I listen to the crap that comes from the Dems, the more I think they were abused with the stupid stick as a child. God they are stupid.

Not so much stupid (although many are, and many more think that we are) as shameless. Global Warming is simply a way to blame weather on their political enemies and capitalism. It's just another phony crisis, but it has proven so lucrative and easily spread that they are now committed to it, regardless of the facts. Thus, expect far more in the way of outlandish claims.

Did they get the memo that this was one of the coldest starts to spring on record? Did they also get the notice that climatologists are saying that we are going to be having a couple of years of cold weather? Yeah, Al Gore should be shaking in his boots right now.

Facts don't matter. What matters is that this is one of the most lucrative scams that they have ever come up with, and they are not going to let the facts get in the way.
